Peacemaking and Peacekeeping for the New Century: : Kofi A. Annan: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers

Peacemaking and Peacekeeping for the New Century

Description

The UN's record in peace operations is long, various, distinguished by both accomplishments and failures, and most importantly, innovative. Unfulfilled expectations and escalating violence in Somalia, Rwanda, and Bosnia forced retrenchment upon UN peace operations_but at the same time, a new opportunity to enhance capacities, review strategies, redefine roles, and reaffirm responsibilities has opened up. Here, a dynamic group of leading diplomats, academics, and journalists combines forces with UN policymakers and leaders including current Secretary-General Kofi Annan and former Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali to explore how the international community can improve its practice in negotiating and implementing peace. They look at what works and what doesn't in UN peacemaking and peacekeeping, and then map out alternative futures for UN action in the 21st century.

These essays, on the whole, are noteworthy for the freshness of their approach.

Richard Caplan, Jesus College, Oxford University, Survival: The Iiss Quarterly
The authors are a mixture of big names (Boutros-Boutros Ghali, Kofi Annan, Brian Urquhart), carefully selected to represent continents and the spectrum of opinion from enthusiastic supporters of UN peacekeeping to carefully considered sympathizers of the same. . . . Throughout there is considerable awareness of the limits of the United Nations as an effective institution, even as its role in containing or even suppressing internal war has grown.
